You need to understand that he is firstly an enemy. Agent of the Emperor with a mission that mans nothing but harm for Zero. He stole Nannally's identity, he intended to spy and than to kill Lelouch. Now, what you normally do with your enemies? Pat on the back? No, you kill your enemies. The other thing is that he's really confused right now. And that is very dangerous for a person so screwed up mentally.
Must Lelouche really be better than this? I don't think so. Enemy is enemy. Also when someone messes with your family like this you don't give them second chances. Even if Rolo betrays britanians I highly doubt he should be treated easily and without suspicion.
There is an interesting thing going on in CG. Characters are thinking too much especially when this isn't required. Kallen instead of first killing her enemy and helping her superior runs away, now you assumes that Lelouch will pity Rolo instead of thinking about him as of an enemy. That is very unhealthy in war.

I agree and disagree somewhat. First, I do agree that Rollo is confused but I do believe that he hasn't joined the BKs yet. I don't believe this whole Rollo situation is about change or that Rollo wants to change. It is most likely that in the future he is just going with the flow and he is trying to find resolve before he takes action- whether join Zero or kill him.
In episode 4, Zero saved Rollo's life in Rollo's eyes. Rollo is currently in conflict with his emotions and most of all his sense of morality which is his sense of right and wrong. He had to save Zero because he can't allow someone to kill Zero who just saved his life. I don't think I can explain the emotion fully but hopefully you guys have an idea. Rollo saved Lelouch because he thought it is the right thing to do but at the same time he betrayed Brittania which is the wrong thing to do. He is also confuse because he now feels loyalty for Lelouch because of family reasons but at the same time he knows Lelouch is a criminal responsible for hundreds or thousands of deaths and he needs to be punished for his crimes.
So right now, Rollo is still confuse. He needs to resolve things inside him so he will just go with the flow until he finds resolve. He will not pledge full loyalty to Lelouch but at the same time, he will not allow the Brittanians to hurt him. He still doesn't know whether to kill Lelouch or join him.
When or if Rollo fully pledge loyalty to zero, then that's going to be about change. The beginning of change for Rollo. But right now, I believe it's about resolve.
Edit:
I didn't read the last 20 pages but I hate to burst most of the people's bubbles but Rollo has emotions. He is a professional killer. He doesn't feel anything when he kills someone. He is cold blooded. But his current mission, he got too attached. He formed a bond with Lelouch, although we know it is one way only. You guys need to watch more action movies where professional killer for XX years develop emotional attachment to a child or girl like bourne identity or something.
